Today Sunday I just watched this show - 16 x 9 on global tv. I became interested when it looked like they were people like us. Geez waiting for them to explain, and nothing of cfs, fm, nor me, NOTHING and nothing of xmrv, I couldn't believe it, they just talked of unexplained illnesses. I posted a comment then came right here so you could all see it. There are two parts "sick for life"

There were 2 parts to the sick for life show, the second part was to do with younger people. Maybe some of you with better communication skills will want to post a comment.

I can't go back and see the Comments now, but when I first read them, I think the father or husband of someone who is chronically ill was thanking you for bringing up XMRV and CFS. Thanks for letting us know about this show. I didn't watch it yet though.

hi glenp

sounds intriguing, frustrating?????

I tried the link and only got the title "Sick for Life" and a bad photo of a man in bed with a huge thermometer in his mouth. Tried searching for the video clip and couldn't find it.

16 X 9 sounds like a 'widescreen' dissapointment, like me when I drop my towel...

On a more positive note we're all looking forward to the Pacific Fatigue Labs recorded show thingamebob which will be a lot more motivating I'm sure.

(Hopefully it'll come out before we're all cured and in the welfare unemployment queue!).
